Take heart, Falcons fans, for there was one entity that suffered even more than you watching the Falcons’ second consecutive crushing fourth-quarter collapse: Borgata Sportsbook in New Jersey.
According to director Thomas Gable, the Bears-Falcons game rendered the book’s biggest decision of the day.
“We took a $100,000 bet on the Bears money line, which obviously ended up costing us money,” Gable said.
Falcons-Bears was also, according to VSIN, the most bet game of the day on PointsBet sportsbooks, with action that saw 70 percent on the Falcons, and Chicago’s win was one of the biggest positive decisions for Stations Casinos in the early games, according to sportsbook director Chuck Esposito.
Unfortunately, no one got in on the hottest action: the Bears were 33-1 underdogs on the money line at MGM books to start the fourth quarter. However, one BetMGM bettor lost $110,000 on Falcons -3.5 on a wager that had been placed on Friday.
